The Rules of the Game

Jean Renoir | 1939 | 1 hr 50 min | subtitles

Often cited as one of the best films ever made, THE RULES OF THE GAME depicts members of French society and their servants at an upper-class estate just before WWII. Director Renoir himself stars as the mournful Octave, who anchors the fatalistic mood of this pensive comedy of manners. With sophisticated camerawork and stunning deep-focus cinematography, this unquestioned masterpiece is both breathtaking and delightful.
